“Good location and comfortable rooms, but service could be better”
The location is immaculate, even though it is hard to reach. The rooms are overall comfortable. The breakfast is good. The quetzal quest tour was pricey and very crowded, but was worthwhile if you don’t mind being it a bit cheesy. We really like the lounge and sipping drinks there.

“Wonderful stay in a quite and lovely place”
Trogon lodge is located in a very quite and isolated area. You are surrounded by the nature. The garden is beautiful with plenty of plants, flowers and birds. The staff is really taking good care of the clients. Do not miss the restaurant which is preparing excellent food. This place is also must if you are re a bird lover and want to see Quetzals, as some are nesting in this valley.

“Great location to relax and enjoy nature”
Our stay at the lodge was a great experience. The rooms are comfortable and the location is beautiful. Located in a green valley, 2200m above sea level. Lot’s of birds and nice trails. The lodge has a cosy bar. Don’t need a SUV or 4x4, surfaced road is in good condition.

“The best place to stay in San Gerardo de Dota”
I loved the setting, we had so many opportunities to go out and see wildlife, especially the birds that came right up to your room. I saw a Quetzal on the Sendero Largo, very special

“Highly recommended lodge but needs a few quality tweaks”
Setting and gardens are lovely, the cabins beds are very comfortable and cosy on cold nights in the mountains. Wood burning stoves in the bar and dining room add a lovely atmosphere

Lovely garden setting, nestled in the hillside, beside a peaceful river. Helpful reception staff. Nice ambience in the restaurant. Very welcome hot shower. We were unsure whether to do the 5 am quetzal tour, but when our experienced guide from the lodge tracked down the quetzals we were delighted at the sights and photos - a very worthwhile early start.

“Nice, but left with a bitter taste in my mouth”
The location and the way the lodgings are built is very nice. It was very clean and well maintained. The area in general is unspoilt and good for exploring on foot.

“Beautiful location and lodges.”
Beautiful setting and very comfortable lodges with nice touches such as hot water bottles. Lovely gardens and nice trails. Comfortable bar and deck with further seating and lounging areas around the gardens. Great tours for birders. The road down is "interesting" but added to the vibe of being in nature. Sorry we only stayed one night.

“Perfect stop off”
Trogon Lodge was a perfect stopping place for us as we were driving from Corcovado to Tortuguero, it was not too far off the main road so didn’t add too many extra miles to our journey. There are a couple of little walks you can do ( which we did as limited on time ) or there are lots of arranged guided tours if you are staying for longer. The bar was lovely but quite busy as it’s one of the only places you could connect to WiFi so everyone was in there. The other place is the restaurant or reception. Breakfast was included and it was very nice. More of a buffet style being that it was more of a hotel. We also had dinner at the restaurant, it was delicious but expensive. The cabin itself was very cute, a little dark but we weren’t inside much so it wasn’t too bad. It was also very cold. Being so high up it was expected to be cold but there was only a small heater in the room. Thankfully there was plenty of blankets for the bed.
